I argued that Warnock should stay after relegation but now realise I got that wrong. It was such an enjoyable ride and so many good memories (Warnock chapter one) but the summer, winter, summer window before he left on good terms were more bad than good and, especially when you have a reluctance to develop youth, two or three below par windows was not recoverable from. We were left, as most Warnock teams are, with an older squad needing to rebuild and no easy way to do that (Warnock chapter two).

Harris is trying to develop this side and if you think he's struggling then the idea that Eddie Howe could come in with very little money to spend and do it is questionable.
